River Camp Dog Park Fort Wayne

We have decided to reduce the hours of our sniffspot for the summer due to the influx of camping and pool reservations, meaning there are more people on our property at all times. If you would like to visit our sniffspot this summer, we are happy to open on a case by case situation! Just message me! We look forward to re-opening in the fall! Your dogs will have a blast running around River Camp Dogpark, located on Southside Fort Wayne. We have a large meadow, and woods with more than 1/2 mile of maintained trails. The woods run right up to the St Marys River behind us, and there is a creek that borders the side of our property. When the river level is low, there is a rocky beach so your dogs can swim! Plenty of squirrels to chase! Walk or drive straight back on the white gravel driveway to the woods, and that driveway leads directly to the trails in the woods, and to the St Mary's River. There is a large meadow in front of the woods to run around in as well! There is a restroom with flush toilet available at the pool (April-October), and in the winter there is a portapotty in the woods. Next to the porta-potty is a water dispenser for handwashing and doggie drinks (disposable dog bowls in the mailbox there, if those are out there are more by the tiki bar) Doggie Supplies (poop bags, dog bowls, milk bones, bug spray etc) are available in a green bin with beige lid at the tiki bar near the pool Follow us on Instagram at Rivercamp_dogpark_fw Facebook: River Camp Fort Wayne, LLC

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
